What is this?

[JoeCapolunghi]

So yesterday before work I get in my truck to leave when I press on the brake to shift into drive and it goes all the way to the floor. I didnt have time till today to have a look and noticed i was leaking my brake fluid from this thing or a pipe leading out of it. Thing is I searched all over and cannot find out what this is properly called to get a replacement for. Thanks!

Looks like the leak is coming from a brake line, the middle one on the top. The right side of the valve looks like it's soaked with brake fluid too, but I believe that might be coming from the line above that.

I replaced the line I thought was leaking due to bad threads but turns out there must be a crack in the valve between it and the frame where its mounted. No auto store can get me one so it looks like I have to order one online. But I cant find anyplace that has one to order, Classic parts and LMC doesnt seem to have it.

I found it just now on ClassicParts but its like 100 dollars. I really hope this isnt the only place where I can get one haha

I know this is an old thread but I figured I would put this up for anyone who has the same problem. I had to buy a proportioning valve as well as mine was rusted out like crazy. Bought one from here:

Comes with a warranty too.
